FreshTox
What Is FreshTox For?
Neuromodulators such as BOTOX®, Dysport®, and Xeomin®, are FDA-approved to treat fine lines and wrinkles associated with movement such as frowning and smiling. Lushful Aesthetic’s FreshTox injections are performed by Chris Bustamante, DNP, NP-C (@InjectorChris).
As a leading aesthetic clinic for men in NYC that is LGBTQ and BIPOC owned, our Aesthetic Clinic’s goal is to create a comfortable space for all, helping to soften facial appearances for those who want to prevent frown lines, a furrowed brow, and more. FreshTox injections can also treat TMJ pain associated with teeth grinding and for masseter muscle reduction.
On the West Coast? Lushful Aesthetics performs FreshTox both in NYC and the San Diego Hillcrest locations.

OUR FRESHTOXOLOGY
BOTOX®, Dysport®, and Xeomin® work via neuromodulation to limit muscle movement and soften the appearance of wrinkles. Rather than treating single lines in isolation, we take a full-face approach to maintain facial harmony and avoid an overtreated appearance.
FreshTox Treatment Areas Include:
- Crow’s feet (lines around the eyes)
- Forehead lines
- The Glabellar Complex (lines between the eyebrows)
- Temples
- Bunny lines (lines extending from the nose)
- Chin
Why should you get facial neurotoxin injections? Neurotoxins are injected into the muscle
to soften wrinkles caused by:
- Frowning
- Smiling
- Other repetitive facial expressions
Post-FreshTox Assessment
Patients are always seen two weeks after their FreshTox appointment to assess whether additional neuromodulator is needed. Any additional units required at the two-week follow-up are complimentary.
BOTOX® is a registered trademark of Allergan Aesthetics, Inc. Procedures described on this site as “FreshTox” involve the off-label use of botulinum toxin type A. Off-label prescribing is a well-established, legal medical practice performed at the discretion of licensed medical professionals and does not indicate that a procedure is unsafe or experimental.

At Lushful Aesthetics, we take a global optimization approach with FreshTox at our NYC med spa. This includes unlimited units to the face. Massaters are charged separately at $14/unit.
FreshTox usually lasts 3-4 months on average.
Being frozen is not the goal for most patients. You will not be frozen unless you request to have very restricted movement. Typically, patients’ goals are to have limited movement for a naturally refreshed appearance, which should occur within a few days after the injections.
Returning for your 2-week appointment is crucial to determine whether you need any touch-ups. Sometimes patients need an extra unit here or there. Because it’s usually just a sprinkle if a touch-up is even necessary, there is no additional cost. We will note in your chart how much to adjust for your next treatment.
The number of neurotoxin units you’ll need will be determined during our in-office assessment. The ultimate thing to keep in mind is that stronger facial muscles require more neurotoxin for movement restriction. We’ll of course also keep in mind your goals and how much movement you’d like to have post-treatment.
We need to assess to determine how many units are appropriate for your unique facial anatomy. In line with our FreshTox goal, we have set a price that would cover all the units necessary for the upper third of the face to avoid unsatisfactory results.
FreshTox for smile lines is a great way to address the dynamic lines around the eyes, typically called Crow’s Feet. However, FreshTox at our mens med spa is not used to address smile lines around the mouth. For lines around the mouth patients should consider nasolabial fold or smile line filler and/or lip filler.
Baby Botox is a marketing term that describes using small doses of neuromodulator to prevent the formation of wrinkles. Keep in mind, you still need the correct dosing for your unique anatomy and there isn’t a set unit amount for “baby Botox”. Most patients seeking “baby Botox” want the mild restriction to prevent harsh lines from forming. This is doable but keep in mind that in order for neuromodulators to be “preventative”, the movement must be restricted.
Yes, if started early enough. FreshTox can delay the onset of wrinkles associated with muscle movements from forming. Wrinkles associated with sleeping (your face squishing against the pillow) and wrinkles associated with skin collagen loss are not prevented by treatments with FreshTox.
Some patients require a touch-up at their 2-week appointment to perfect their results. Keep in mind, it’s always better to undertreat you initially, especially if it’s your first time receiving FreshTox. We can always add more at your 2-week follow-up appointment, but overtreatment cannot be corrected – you will have to wait for the effects of the neuromodulator to wear off. Additionally, wrinkles from lifestyle (sun exposure, face squishing on a pillow, etc) and collagen loss are not improved with neuromodulator injections.
